12 dB cutoff points for the woofer ensure perfect frequency tuning

The B2 Audio crossover is equipped with two 12 dB cutoff points. These specific points allow for customized frequency tuning for the woofer at precisely 1.55 kHz. This sophisticated engineering design ensures that low frequencies are reproduced without distortion or overlap. A lower cutoff point would allow lower frequencies to flow unhindered through the woofer, potentially resulting in improper separation. In contrast, a higher cutoff point would not efficiently filter out the excess frequencies. These cutoff points contribute to the clear, detailed bass reproduction in your vehicle.

3-bandpass midrange technology delivers differentiated sound experiences

The REF8-3XOVER uses three bandpass filters specifically for the midrange, operating from 1.55 kHz to 6.45 kHz. This covers a wide frequency range, ensuring clearly defined midrange frequencies. A well-positioned bandpass filter is crucial to avoid phase problems and intermodulation distortion that can occur with improper frequency distribution. This setup minimizes distortion, which is critical for your music reproduction. If this range were narrower, you could lose important sonic detail. If it were wider, unwanted frequencies could interfere with the clean sound of the midrange.

Tweeter bypass at 6.45 kHz for precise highs

The tweeter is crossovered at a frequency of 6.45 kHz. This feature allows the crossover to pass only the frequencies intended for the tweeter, while filtering out all frequencies below this range. This results in cleaner, more balanced highs. If this crossover frequency is set too low, the tweeters could be unnecessarily stressed and over-stressed. If it is too high, important high-frequency detail may be missing. The precise crossover at 6.45 kHz ensures that the highs remain clear and punchy without compromising harmonic balance.

Adjustable 3 dB attenuation optimizes sound reproduction

The REF8-3XOVER has a special feature: adjustable 3 dB attenuation. This function gives you the flexibility to individually reduce individual frequency ranges. This is especially important for responding to your car's acoustics and tailoring the sound to individual preferences. Less attenuation would result in a louder, potentially more intrusive sound. Stronger attenuation could excessively reduce the midrange or treble accent, potentially detrimental to the overall acoustic picture. Play with these settings to find the perfect balance in your audio installation.

0 dB mode for maximum efficiency and unadulterated sound quality

The B2 Audio REF8-3XOVER truly demonstrates its strength in 0 dB mode. This setup ensures uncompromising sonic purity, as the crossover operates at 1.55 kHz for woofers and 1.55 kHz to 6.45 kHz for midrange drivers. This mode minimizes unnecessary coloration or overemphasis to leave the actual audio signal untouched. Deviating from this mode would involve either a more or less aggressive adjustment of the frequencies, which is unnecessary if you prefer pure sound. This ensures that all musical nuances are heard without missing any parts of your audio spectrum.
